I wrote this song while thinking of many of my friends that still work at my ex company Gateway Computer. To be honest, they are struggling right now. My friends in South Dakota are frustrated for change but at the same time, it is hard to change the negative inertia. So rather than be frustrated, they should Lay It Down.

It’s been a while since I had written a full song and this one just popped out in March of this year.

Lay it down

Intro
A C G A

Verse
Em
I didn't ask to be in the place
Am
And nothing is the same
Em
So many people I don't like
C                    Am
But I got no time to complain

So much same old same old
No one's trying anything new
We're not judged on what we say
just on what we do

D
Time's run out for talking
C
This ship's got to turn around
C
It's hard when everyone's watching,
A            C   G  A
But I got to Lay it down.

Refrain
A        C   G  A
I got to lay it down
C                A
Judgment time is near
A        C   G  A
I got to lay it down
D                E
And put aside my fears

D
I'm not going to leave this place
C
without ever making a sound
C
Now more than ever
A            C   G  A
It's time to lay it down.
